Question

determine the ratio in which the point C(p,3) divides the joining of A(-6,-9) and B(2,15). Also, find the value of p.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: by section formula,

p= 2k-6/k+1 ; 3= 15k -9/ k+1

p=2(1)-6/1+1 ; 3k+3=15k-9

p=-4/2 ; 12=12k

p=-2 ; k = 1

Thus, required ratio is 1:1 and value of p is -2
